Nine Die in Army Copter Crash in Iraq

A U.S. Army helicopter crashes in Fallujah, killing all nine people aboard. U.S. military spokesmen say they are still investigating whether the chopper was fired upon. Wednesday night, a U.S. soldier died and 34 others were wounded in a mortar attack on a U.S. base west of Baghdad. Meanwhile, U.S. officials release between 60 and 70 Iraqi prisoners as a goodwill gesture. Hear NPR's Anne Garrels.
